City of North Vancouver will confer "Freedom of the City" on Paralympian Lauren Woolstencroft

On Monday (June 14), North Vancouver resident Lauren Woolstencroft will be honoured at the 7 p.m. City of North Vancouver council meeting.

Woolstencroft, the star of the 2010 Paralympics, will receive a "Freedom of the City" designation at a presentation at 7 p.m. in the council chamber.
